I've seen a new 2014 FXT and the turbo hangs too low in the chassis to fit the brz.
So for the same money you could have an aftermarket conversion bolted to a n/a engine or a proper OEM-designed solution, with the right compression ratio and amazing torque response which will do 100k miles without issue.

Not a hard decision for me. Thanks for your input
